I Will Cross Tomorrow (2019)

Hope comes in many forms

[7/10 · 9 November 2022]

Need to have a little knowledge of what the refugees go through so are able to pay attention to the dialogue. Script is tight, keeps story going so we do not have to figure everthing out. Just a couple of times the editing had me wondering. Otherwise able to stick with the story.

The lead is very good as she keeps us interested in what she doing and why. Could have presented a little more about the mother -daughter relationship. Did not realize that it was so strained the daughter would run away. As for her and the refugee they both had experienced traumas and handle them in different ways. Photography portrays the starkness of the camps and the hopeless position of a refugee.

Il vecchio e la bambina (2022)

Slow but sure

[6/10 · 14 October 2022]

Watched first hour. Main character rides his bike to visit various historic sites in an Italian town. A series of quotes accompany us as we view these places of history and nature. After he reconnects with himself he has his granddaughter join him to learn about her past and his present.

So, he takes her to visit caves that reveal a sublime part of nature we rarely see. Fortunately, she is not holding a cell phone and can enjoy what is before her.

The photography is well thought out and keeps us interested. The soundtrack although continuous is pleasant. The granddaughter appreciates his surprise and begins to have a better understanding of who she is and where she came from.

Christmas with a Prince (2018 TV Movie)

Point

Most of you missed the point. Christmas is a time for miracles. A romantic interest was a sub plot. Merry Christmas everyone.
